Dark Angel, Goya Kong, Lluvia vs Dalys, La Seductora, Tiffany: [Below Average/OK] Not good. First fall was stretched out to make up for it being two falls, but did not help at all. This was not a strong crew and luchadoras were sloppier and more out of position than usual. Dark Angel looked bad on a cool spot at the end of the first, clearly because Seductora did not move close enough. The ruda followed Angel through second fall sequences better and showed some aggression near the end, but didn’t really impress. This felt like the first week of a build, not the last.

Sagrado armdrag fail, or Bucanero invents a move

Ángel de Oro, Sagrado, Stuka Jr. vs Boby Zavala, Rey Bucanero, Terrible: [Below Average/OK] Not a strong match, despite trying something different to end the first fall and the break up being onIy a background issue most of the way. Bucanero and Sagrado were horrible together, blowing an armdrag to start, then being on two very different timings for the Buca Strom. Angel slipped on his second fall finish too, though it made the dropkick look more painful. Stuka lost the one time he decided to fake the dive to the outside; I hope we have all learned something.

Super Porky

Marco Corleone, Máscara Dorada, Super Porky vs Euforia, Gran Guerrero, Niebla Roja: [GOOD] Marco and Porky style comedy match and a fun one. Dorada gets less time because his spots do not take long to set up and he is so quick to do them. His diving head scissors was superb. Marco and Niebla Roja either must feud forever or become unlikely partners, because they were great together. Niebla was awesome on his own too. It appeared Gran Guerrero briefly forgot how to apply his own finisher. These things happen. He could not bring this one down.
